EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze sculpture, titled "Howling Lion," is an enigmatic masterpiece of ancient art, dating from the 1st century B.C. to the 2nd century A.D. The creator of this work remains unknown, leaving the origins of this powerful and evocative piece shrouded in mystery. The lion, a symbol of strength and courage in ancient Greek and Roman culture, is depicted in the moment of its primal roar. Its muscular body is taut with energy, its mane flowing in the wind. The lion's open mouth reveals sharp, bared teeth, as its eyes are fixed on some unseen threat or prey. The intricately detailed casting showcases the advanced metalworking techniques of the time. The surface of the bronze is richly textured, with veins of oxidation adding depth and dimension to the lion's form. The patina, a result of centuries of aging, adds a sense of history and authenticity to the piece. The "Howling Lion" is a testament to the enduring allure of ancient art and the timeless beauty of the natural world. Originally discovered in Italy, this sculpture is now part of the esteemed collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), in the United States. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that connects us to the past and inspires us to explore the depths of human creativity.
